This is quite possibly one of the greatest films ever released. And that’s not an exaggeration. The music, cinematography, story, pretty much everything is at a solid 9.5

Shoutout to Hans Zimmer for this legendary soundtrack

Let me tell you this: I watched this movie in 2014 and I got extremely teary eyed. When I rewatched in 2019 when I was a father of a Son, it broke me!

Christopher Nolan, the acclaimed filmmaker, made a unique decision for "Interstellar" by planting 500 acres of corn for the movie's production. Nolan's dedication to authenticity and visual impact played a crucial role in this decision. To achieve the film's stunning visuals and provide a realistic portrayal of a futuristic yet agrarian society, Nolan wanted to shoot actual cornfields rather than relying solely on CGI effects. Furthermore, Nolan's commitment to practical filmmaking extended to other aspects of the production. He aimed to minimize the use of computer-generated imagery whenever possible, opting for practical effects and real sets to enhance the film's visual impact.

Seeing this movie in imax was legendary, best theater experience I’ve ever had. Such a great movie

The thing that makes Nolans movies special other than cinematography, story, emotion is the music ❤. It sets the tone so much.

7:38 There’s a line in the script that didn’t make it into the final cut, but I think you can see Murph about to say it. She asks “What’s a hot dog?” I kind of wish they’d left it in. A little more world-building to illustrate that they’d run out of animal-based food

i was taken aback by this film's scientific realism, the father-daughter bond, love, the awe-inspiring Hans Zimmer score--everything about it just left me speechless when I saw it. I watched it a total of 3 times in theaters, and that's the only film I've done this for. Side Note: Interstellar got an Academy Award for Visual Effects and the scientific advisor (Kip Thorne) of Interstellar won a nobel prize 3 years later on gravity waves. The film also got a Science Award for creating the mathematics to construct the black hole in 3-dimensional space because we've actually never seen one in real life. To make things even more exciting and a great testament to how accurate Kip Thorne's ideas were correct, the Event Horizon Telescope research team took first images of a black hole a few years ago and the images look quite similar to what was portrayed in Interstellar---just WOW!

While we get all teary eyed while watching the movie, by the end youll feel as if you have waken up from meditation. Touches your heart and soul straight away.

I don't think this movie was appreciated enough at the time. I think it's a masterpiece.

The data that he sends to Murphy through the watch is the observable data of the singularity within the black hole. If we were able to look at and measure everything we could of a collapsed star within a black hole (the singularity) we would basically be finding the cheat code to the universe.

For reasons I can't explain, when Cooper is watching 23 years of video messages, most of the people reacting to Interstellar don't notice when Tom says that grandpa (Donald) was buried next to his mom and Jessy (Tom's baby), poor baby. 💔

how? how can you not remember this movie if you saw it once?? how?? it burned into my brain when i saw it at first. and it went deeper and deeper with every rewatching...

My favorite Nolan movie, great movie, I also remember tears in my eyes with emotion when I saw it in the theater for the first time, it is so worth watching many times

Very few reactors notice that Brand buried her lover, AND took off her helmet (breathable atmosphere). Thank you for that! Subscribed!

Man, this scene with his kids, especially his son, killed me. I wouldn't be able to leave my kids like that (even with the possibility to rescue humanity...I am that selfish :D )

I went to see this in theaters and it quite literally changed me as an individual. It changed the course of my life. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a special limited edition copy, that came with two versions of the film, DVD and Blu-ray, as well as a Blu-ray special features that had over 3 hours of behind the scenes content (my favorite of which was the section that talked about building the score and using this enormous church organ). It also had a booklet with still images and behind the scenes captions, as well as an actually piece of one of the distributed film reels - both of which were unfortunately lost/stolen. In the last interview in the special features, Emma Thomas, the wife and producing partner of Nolan, said that her hope for this movie would change people's lives. When I heard that for the first time I desperately wanted to contact them somehow, to personally thank them for the work they did that has changed my life, changed me as a person, made me more compassionate, empathetic, understanding, accepting, humble, and generous.

This movie sparked my love for science, because of its focus on the philosophy of science and its conflict with the human condition that is mostly emotionally driven. Brand's character is the embodiment of that conflict. 7 years since I've seen the movie im pursuing my science dreams and I always come back to this movie whenever I start having doubts. One of my favorite movies! Also for an amazing amazing amazingly nuanced religious movie, I recommend Silence by Martin Scorsese! Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield (main role), Liam Neeson... Incredible movie. My favoritr movie of all time.

Dr. Mann's full name is Hugh Mann.. Human. Also, he wasn't marooning the crew just to survive or go back to earth. He wanted to finish the Plan B mission by taking the Endurance to Edmunds' Planet, but he knew Cooper wanted to go back home instead.

Even after seeing this movie a dozen times, i still am crying endlessly even just watching this video. Thats a testament to how great Interstellar is

Great reaction! Hard to comment except to say "Yes, you are correct - this is a devestating and beautiful movie." If you have an offscreen McConaughey list, add Frailty to it - awesome, madly underrated gem.

Dr. Mann is not an evil person. His survival instinct took over. We can agree that what he did was wrong, and in the grand scheme could have ended the human race, but it wasn’t with malicious intent. He’s not an evil person, he’s just a person who acted within his human nature. Just calling him evil doesn’t allow a more nuanced understanding of the psychology within a scenario like that; it’s the cheap way out so that we don’t have to contemplate our own potential for acting similarly.

to add to the stress of the waterworld scene, every tick you can hear in the soundtrack is one day back on earth

Dr. Mann (Matt Daemon) wanted to steal their ship, dock with Endurance station (the round thing they attached to), go to Edmund's planet and populate it by bombarding the planet with fertilized eggs (use plan b to start a new humanity). He's not quite a villain, but he would leave Cooper and Amelia to die on his planet.

Each tick on Miller's planet is a day passing on earth.

Saw the movie 7 days a week for months after it came out.. Been seeing it now and then ever since.. And one thing never changes.. When Cooper meets old Murph.. I cry. I cry a lot. Like Brand said.. "I'm afraid of time"

It took me almost ten years to realize Topher Grace is in this movie. A decade down the line and this masterpiece continues to unearth these buried little joys and hidden surprises like that or some other random, but really purposely put there detail in the background easter egg. The child actress playing Murph is so spot-on look wise to Jessica Chastain that I think Christopher Nolan traveled through a wormhole back in time, grabbed Eleven year old Jessica Chastain from her childhood timeline in gym class, brought her forward through time into the future, shot all her scenes as a kid, put back her child version self, returning her to her proper timeline and childhood, already in progress. She and Anne Hathaway are phenomenal and my two favorites. ** Punch dance kick impromptu celebration, but in the lifeless, lumbering form of a dead-eyed marionette** Matt Damon!

I don't understand people who say Nolan's movies are all emotionally cold movies that are otherwise great. Especially coming out of Oppenheimer, this criticism is invalid.

First time to your channel, I'm in! You have a great chemistry and vibe. Fantastic reaction 🤩

Literally the best film to be made I saw this in imax in theatere. I can’t explain how much this movie meant to me. Fills a void.

Hello. Greetings from Brazil. I really like reactions, I've watched dozens of Interstellar, one of my favorites. I usually just leave a like, but yours was really good. The way you expressed your feelings and the interaction with each other was touching. Since they like this genre, I make a suggestion, from the film Arrival.

Bruh i subbed as soon as she said i'm not a great driver bc i panic. Most people don't take that accountability and it's refreshing as hell to see it. I'm not someone who panics because of trauma I've experienced in the past and it's really hard for me to work with people who panic because I'm just trying to think of how to fix the situation in that moment lol. Refreshing, thank you.

It never fails, every time Murph appears during that 23-year recap I just start crying. And in the end, when she says "Because my dad promised me." it's equally strong. I don't see how any movie is ever gonna top this.

I love both of you guys’ perspective on the paranormal, life after death, past lives, etc. it’s very refreshing seeing people who think similarly to me and no, your not alone in thinking these things as I think and believe them too❤

Blows my mind no one picks up Matt Damon’s character being named Dr. MAN, as if the film is showing us the folly and evil of man kind through him. Don’t forget he was suppose to be “the best of us” as different characters repeat through out the film.

I watched this in IMAX premiere weekend......Best cinematic experience of my life alongside of The Dark Knight in IMAX

I think I'm reading a lot into the dynamic between these two and what their personal lives are like.

Someone suggested to me that maybe Cooper died entering (or in) the black hole, fulfilling what Dr. Mann told him … that the last thing you will see before you die is your children. Everything after he left Dr. Brand was a dream as he was dying. After many, many watchings, I still can’t decide what I believe … same with the end of Inception. At this point, Christopher Nolan has made 5 or 6 perfect or near perfect movies. It’s not even really debatable, he has cemented his legacy on the Mount Rushmore of great filmmakers. I’m glad I lived long enough to see his vision and artistic storytelling come to life.

The TV show, "The Expanse" is one of the most scientifically accurate shows while this movie, "Interstellar", is the most scientifically accurate movie. As an Arizonan it always cracks me up to see reactors so shocked by the haboob (sandstorm). I’ve had to wait for buses to/from work in these. Dr. Mann kept finding ways to imagine himself of being capable of accomplishing many things and then he kept failing. He thought his planet would be THE next human planet and he'd be the hero of mankind. He thought he'd stay with Cooper while he died; but then got overwhelmed with the consequences of his own actions and gave up. He failed at going forward with the mission because of his own hubris. He was a villain, yes, but I kind of get how/why he went insane. He and the other 11 astronauts left Earth 10 years before Cooper & Brand. He had been alone on his plane for 34 years by the time Cooper, Brand, and Romly get to him. I mean, look what happened to America & other nations after the COVID lockdowns. That was only 3 months & we humans are SO undeniably more messed up than ever before. The movie is based on an original concept by producer Lynda Obst and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne and is set around 2067. In the event horizon/center of the black hole is a tesseract; a 3 dimensional representation of our future 5 dimensional understanding of time. If Cooper travels “up” or “down” in the tesseract he is able to view different moments in the past and touch the items in each time to communicate with Murphy. Tom, Cooper’s son, had a baby while Cooper was in space, but the baby (Jesse) died early on and was buried out behind the house and later so was Grandpa. Tom died 20 years or so before Cooper made it out of the tesseract and to Saturn. More of the scientific details are in Kip’s book, “The Science of Interstellar”. The crew's shuttle was being pulled into the spinning black hole that they had named, "Gargantua", and they had no fuel to fly/pull away from it. Cooper first released the robot, T.A.R.S., into the spinning black hole wanting the robot to try and gather data while traveling through the black hole. This way, if the robot gets found by someone they can try to gather the data and use it. To prevent Dr. Brand from dying Cooper then released Dr. Brand's shuttle at a specific time so that the spinning black hole's gravity would slingshot/swing her off towards the other planet that they did not have enough fuel to get to using the ship alone. When Cooper's shuttle gets pulled into the spinning black hole it begins to fall apart because of the strong gravity, but because the black hole was spinning he did not get pulled apart like we would with a stationary black hole. He ejects himself from the shuttle, but quickly falls into a TESSERACT. The tesseract that the future "humans" placed in the black hole for him is a physical representation of a 4th dimension for humans of today to make sense of. The future humans that built the three dimensional bookcase in five dimensional space essentially pinpointed a specific coordinate in the universe that was important to Murphy (obviously she became the most famous figure of Earth’s exodus so they knew she was the key) and used that point to send Coop. They did not know at what point in time he was able to communicate everything of importance to her, so instead they gave him a “ladder” of time to glide through and find those points in time for himself. In this tesseract Cooper is only seeing different moments in time of his daughter's bookcase. He can go to a time when she's very young or older and try to communicate by pushing her books. At first, he doesn't realize that he needs to help her build the space stations that will eventually house the people from Earth. So, at first, he tries to communicate with her just like the 'ghost' was in the beginning of the movie and he fails to get her to make him stay. When he realizes that this is something he cannot change he realizes he can also communicate with T.A.R.S. He asks T.A.R.S. to take ALL gathered data from the black hole and the future humans and encode it into the movement of Murphy's watch's second hand. Using Morris Code T.A.R.S. is able to share the info with Murphy. The entire time Murphy is doing her work to build the space stations Cooper is in her book case working with T.A.R.S. He is still alive. Doctor Brand found out that the man she loved had found a planet that humans can live on, but he had died in a landslide. This is why his beacon had stopped earlier in the movie. Cooper was guided by his love, which was a theme of the movie and is the only force we can conceive across time and space. This movie is about love. Love for your children, love for your significant other, love for humanity, etc. Had Coop allowed Dr. Brand (Anne Hathaway) to seek out Edmund in the beginning , they would’ve found their new home immediately. Her love was guiding her as well, and even though logically Matt Damon’s planet seemed like a better bet (due to his fake data), her love was pointing true. Side note: I do still blame her for everything going wrong from Miller’s planet though, lol.

14:10 no, Nolan didn't write this movie. Kip Thorne, a Nobel Prize winner in astrophysics did - he came to Nolan and proposed the idea of the movie. Nolan added the "love transcends spacetime" idea and the plotline with daugher iirc. Thorne did write a book about science in Interstellar AFTER the movie came out, though.

Loved the reaction and your thoughts on the movie. It's one of the best films for me.

Wow, I honestly didn't expect the mushroom talk at the end but it did resonate with me. Definitely earned a sub. Fungi are ancient organisms, they literally turned the barren rock surface of the young earth into soil. Fungi are some of the fastest adaptive species I can think of. Almost all life on the surface came about because of the efforts of fungi throughout the earth's history. They are one of few organisms that actually creat ideal conditions not just for their own reproduction, but also the reproduction of species they pick and choose to cooperate with. Absolutely fascinating little creatures.

This reaction has brought so many things to my thoughts that I don't know where to begin. When you said: what if we were placed as eggs on planet Earth, I thought the same (but at the end of the film). The aircraft Cooper was remote controlling and the motif of letting go kind of goes hand in hand with what his son later tells him in the video. Murph and Tars connection, specially in the docking scene. Something that I have just thought of: the flat tire and the Endurance relationship. It's too late in my country but it was such a cool thing to have seen and heard your brilliant thoughts and comments. Have a great one!

46:05 He's fighting the centrifugal force that makes you blackout. He's barely holding on

46:10 When I heard that I literally said "WOW!", first time that was connected after seeing this movie so many times and reactions to it.

16:17 ... Wait, how did you know that old woman was Murph??? I thought they were pretty slick about that! Edit: No way you predicted Cooper being the Ghost too oml

the theory of the big bang was proposed by a catholic priest btw. the assertion that christianity is hostile to "space" or whatever is very odd.

Dr. Mann: "I'm gonna dock!" -"No, you're total idiot don't even think. And also it's very funny to see how you die." Cooper: "I'm gonna dock!" -Yess! You're super genius ultra brave man. And it's also very emotional how you are doing it. I am just crying right now.

One of the greatest movies ever made in Human History. It's all on a league on it's own.

"At least we know she lives, from the interview at the beginning." This is yet another reason I despise having captions on whilst watching a movie. They give away secrets, as well as distracting from the visual element of the film.

"Interstellar" was written by Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan, a screenwriter, director and producer who co-created the series "Westworld".

The Docking scene is one of the best I’ve ever watched, absolutely incredible

Yup, those scenes "got me" too, and it's VERY difficult to find a movie that makes me shed tears. The one PRIOR to Interstellar that made that happen was "Inside Out"... THREE YEARS prior, lol. Murph's line of "...and today I'm the age you were when you left" was the FIRST line that pulled serious tears from me, and it again happened when we finally saw Murph at the end.

The scenes on Earth start in the 2070s and then shift to the 2090s when we see Murph all grown up.

I saw this in IMAX high AF on edibles, one of the best experiences ever! Completely blown away, even though I was really high, I still vividly remember that experience. Excellent film! If you guys haven't seen it yet, I recommend Nolan's film Momento too. It's an interesting premise..... Welp, time to get lost in Interstellar piano covers on youtube again. All hail the algorithm!

Funniest thing you guy talking about space and religion Matthew McConaughey was in the movie contact where he is a religious guy that says he believes in life on other planets because if there isn't that's an awful waste of space

From the perspective expressed at the end of the movie, I think the movie "Contact" would be a good choice. It also has Matthew McConaughey, not the main actor, the main actor is Jodie Foster.

My favorite Nolan film.

I remember watching instellar on my phone on a free website in school and my stomach dropping during the seeing he's watching the years of video messages from his son.

Fun fact when they get to miller's planet you can hear ticking for every tick you hear 1 day is passing on earth.

Nice reaction you two! I like your idea of the afterlife being a recycling of the soul, basically reincarnation. If you haven’t seen it, “Cloud Atlas” is a deep complex movie that deals with reincarnation and how one’s actions have ripple consequences across time, from the 1800’s to the 2300’s, and each time period is connected with non linear story telling. It also has a theme of fighting slavery and injustice. Excellent movie. It was an adaptation of the novel by David Mitchell, and has a full cast and had a huge budget. It also has a beautiful, moving soundtrack.

when you started talking about LSD... lmao you got it 100% right especially w this movie

A little late but man this has to be one of the best reactions out there. You guys onderstood the movie from the beginning, not only the plot bus what Nolan intended you to see and feel. You earned my sub :) * edit * only thing i would advise with these kind of movies is to get good headphones. The music, the silences, the overall quality of sounds adds very much to the experienceand simple in ear plugs won't do the job. Just a suggestion though :)

I love how the wave scene seem just a random but cool sci-fi thing but for physics connoisseurs it makes perfect sense : a planet this close to a black hole will experience huge tidal forces.

When i watched this movie for the 2nd time, showing it to my gf, i pretended to fall asleep for everything past the black hole. We were not yet in a place in our relationship where she needed to see me in that kinda emotional state.

Damn did the subtitles tell you the old woman talking at the beginning was Murph? That’s a big spoiler lol

This is my first video of y’all’s I have watched and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This movie is my all time favorite. I loved seeing the mix of emotion on your faces. From Pure joy to the heartbreak. Great reaction.

Also, wanna shoutout to the cameraman for staying up 124 years to film this for us.

you are a genuine person, love u darling.

I’m glad you brought up Christianity, this movie actually doesn’t go against anything that they believe and reinforces many of the ideas. It was a great observation. I encourage people look deeper into the history because I found many of the statements that people make are wrong.

This film sits soundly as my number 5 on my top favorite movies of all time

Seeing this in IMAX is a core memory.

You're getting emotional already? You gotta keep it together, the movie just started!!!! There's going to be plenty of time for tears, especially when thst Hans Zimmer score kicks in at those pivotal moments of the movie

Wow i just watched this last night. What a coincidence!

Crazy but true, the black hole rendering of this movie helped give physicists a better understanding of black holes. Each frame of Gargantua took 100 hrs to render🖤

Checkout the Lyrics to the song " '39" by Queen (1975) that is this story

Okay, I don’t need to see anything else that you guys react to, you’re both incredibly insightful and I’ve had every thought that you all discuss. Love it!!!

Idk why a line as corny as “it’s not possible…no it’s necessary” hits so hard for me. Probably cuz at that moment I did think it was game over for the mission completely. This movie is my favourite movie. I can rewatch it over and over and still bawl my eyes out

DId you guys ever discuss oppenheimer on the channel or anything? Would love to hear your thoughts. It's my favorite nolan movie.

So watch now Gunbuster. It's quite similar. Maybe, it served as a reference for Nolan's interstellar.

This movie is definitely in my top 5

There's a running joke about how much money we've spent rescuing Matt Damon.

The movie was written by an astrophysicist so all the science is very accurate, I heard somewhere the most BS part is the fact it would actually take several million years for a blight to get that bad

The scene I thought was most emotional was near the end… “No parent should have to watch their child die.” If you really want a sci-if to mess with your perception of reality you should watch Arrival with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner (if you haven’t seen it yet).

"seven years per hour here." "WWHAAATT???" How did you not hear him say that just six minutes earlier?

Since you’re on a sci-fi kick right now, may I suggest 1981’s Outland, starring Sean Connery? Also, your husband saying that he’d read the novel The Martian got an immediate like. 😁

53:45 took acid lots. always arrived at the same place, which is what you're describing. that and the fact that we are also all balancing on a spiritual and material tightrope over and endless void

35:49 I can't help but find myself agreeing with Dr Mann. Usually, the "villain's" beliefs have been taught through harsh life experiences, while the hero's beliefs are based on idealistic morals. It's easy for us to say "there was still hope" from the comfort of our homes when we didn't spend *decades* of obsessive research on astrophysics

If you're interested for another sci-fi i would highly suggest these underrated scifi movies Upgrade 2018 Looper Dark City Strange Days

This movie, is a masterpiece 😢

It's love. It's all about love.

You guys HAVE to watch Arrival if you liked this, Its like watching a puzzle falling into place :”)

22:28 That feeling is called the Numinous... I'd recommend listening to / reading Contact by Carl Sagan... that book has informed how I understand my spirituality and universal awe that I feel as an Agnostic myself.

If you want to see Matt Damon in a different kind of role you can watch The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Departed. Both are really good movies.

"Parentified"..."helicopter parents"... I never heard those terms ever. Now I want to go watch videos on those.. lol.

Great movie. I saw it twice in theatre and let me tell ya, the space scenes were amazing. I would argue space creating those feelings is due to the mind of its creator. Space, is one of the greatest examples of the existence of God in my opinion. The minuscule and finite balance of cosmic integrity and the information contained in it, as well as life in general, there is absolutely no other explanation or source of that other than an intelligent creator. In new to your channel. Big comic book reader and all things comic related, so i have been going through watching all your comic movie stuff and saw Interstellar so i had to watch it. As a father of three, the scenes with Murph always crush me no matter how many times i see them.

So interesting that Dr Mann, the "best of us," demonstrates perfectly why they had to create "plan A."

I dont know what’s my favorite Nolan film. This or the dark knight rises. And I haven’t even seen Oppenheimer.

Masterpiece....

So good
